It is said that what is the family and the son are together, every day is like this, probably only these are the soldiers. People celebrate the Spring Festival, and those who serve as soldiers must stick to their posts for decades to defend their families and defend the country, and those who can rely on them may not have more choices except for their comrades-in-arms.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is the first day of the Spring Festival, the most important festival of the year, and it is the time when people are most relaxed, but the troops cannot relax.

Zhongnan Station officially passed the rating and was rated as a third-class airport of the second-class station of the Air Force, that is to say, it is second only to the second-class stations such as Xixian Station and Youhuchang Station, which belongs to the medium level. This result surprised the second division, they originally thought that the condition of Zhongnan Station could be rated as a third-class station and burn high incense, but as a result, they entered the second-class station. Everyone knows that this is closely related to the data provided by Li Zhan's test flight. To put it bluntly, the evaluation team of the air division is to look at the fighter sortie rate of your station, and the sortie rate includes almost all aspects of ability.

The new Air Force Airport Grading System (Trial) divides Air Force airfields into two tiers. According to the dispatch capacity, there are three levels, from high to low, they are first-class stations, second-class stations, and third-class stations; According to the scope of use, there are also three levels, from high to low, they are first-class airports, second-class airports, and third-class airports.

That is, the highest level is the first class, and the lowest is the third class.

The station is a first-level organization responsible for ground logistics support, and the airport refers to the place where aircraft operate on the ground.

Theoretically, the level of the station has nothing to do with the airport, for example, an airport in Gyeonggi has only a runway of more than 1,000 meters, but that station is at the deputy division level, and the runway of Gyeongbei Airport is more than 2,000 meters, but the station level is only a regular group. For example, Beiku Airport and Duda Airport, the runway length exceeds the standard of more than 3,000 meters and goes straight to the standard of the civil aviation 4F airport, but they are all at the regiment level, while the standard of Xixian Airport is far inferior to the first two but it is at the deputy division level.

However, from a practical point of view, the size of the airport is closely related to the level of the station, after all, the airport is larger, there are more aircraft, more models can take off and land, and the ground logistics support force required is naturally greater, and the level of the station will naturally follow.

The new hierarchy clarifies the relationship between the station and the airport, adds more elements that are in line with the modernization process of the air force, such as the sortie rate, and redefines the level of each station and an airport. For example, the dispatch rate of Zhongnan station has reached the standard of a second-class station, but the airport standard only meets the standard of a third-class airport, which cannot accommodate a variety of types of operations.

In fact, in Li Zhan's eyes, the implementation of this new airport grading system by the Air Force is basically laying the foundation for promoting the transformation of air force stations into bases, and at the same time, it is also a thorough and in-depth investigation of the entire military station. Obviously, the development of the Beiku combat training base has provided a lot of ideas for the bigwigs of the air division.

The reform of the depot means that the air force will carry out a drastic reform, which is a reform of a huge system, and will eventually form a joint combat system to achieve the goal of systematic operation. It will not be effective at all in ten or eight years, but if it comes to the day when it is fully rolled out, the air force will be a big change.

Li Zhan has already smelled the supersonic aviation fuel of reform, which means that the actual combat test flight and acceptance test flight task of the J-16 he is responsible for is very important. After studying the relevant documents, he found that the air division and even many front-line pilots have a fairly simulated understanding of the use of the J-16, and even some opinions simply believe that the J-16 is a replacement for the J-11, which gave him a great stimulus.

He realized that this was not a minor problem.

What shocked him even more was that he found that he had never seriously thought about the use of the J-16 either. Isn't that the Chinese deep evolution version of the Su-30, and how can it be used? However, when he recalled the content of several exchanges with Yao Dongming, he found that the 300th Division used the Su-30MKK as a fighter plane more often, and Yao Dongming never seemed to feel that there was anything wrong with this understanding.

Is there something wrong with that?

Big problem.

This may mean that the Su-30MKK may not be fully functional, and it also means that the troops have misunderstandings about how to use the J-16.

Li Zhan decisively pushed back the flight plan for a few days, and hurriedly contacted Yao Dongming and the 300th Division to ask for the use of their Su-30MKK fleet, including combat training and so on.

The results surprised him.

The 300th Division knows that the Su-30MKK is a professional fighter-bomber, but there is a serious lack of understanding of the use of this aircraft, and more often the model is used as a heavy air superiority fighter, such a result seems logical, after all, the air combat capability of this model is not bad, it can be said that it is not inferior to the J-11B to a certain extent. However, this did not reveal the true combat capabilities of the aircraft at all.

In terms of ground strike, Li Zhan couldn't help but find that the 300th Division's understanding of the Su-30MKK was still at the stage of the J-5 attack aircraft......

What are you doing with the J-10 and J-11 like this?

The reason why Maozi is engaged in the Su-34 is because they think that the Su-30MKK is good at both ends - the air supremacy is not comparable to the Su-35, and the opposite strike cannot meet the needs of the troops. So a monster like the Su-34 was created.

To put it bluntly, the three hundred divisions balanced the advantages of the Su-30MKK in practical use. Ground strike is by no means as simple as throwing a few aerial bombs at a point of fire, or even as simple as launching air-to-surface missiles outside the defense zone, which involves a strike system, and the Su-30MKK is the most important joint in this strike system. As an alternative model, the J-16 is to carry this burden.

At this time, Li Zhan realized the degree of advance in the combat tactics of the Eagle Falcon Brigade, which was a rigid phenomenon of operational thinking that was still prevalent in the air force aviation units.

He also needs to figure out the question: whether the Su-30MKK units of the HNA also have the same misunderstanding. Compared with the Air Force Aviation, the Su-30MKK is simply a tailor-made weapon for naval aviation and is the backbone of the fight against large surface ships. He remembered that when he was working on the "233" project, some of the results of the project had already been carried out on a trial basis in some units, such as the low-altitude penetration attack method, which was popularized to the naval aviation units.

Maybe the situation of HNA will be better, after all, the situation they face is relatively simple.

To understand the situation of HNA, there are two candidates in front of you. One is Qi Hong, the commander of the Second Division, who was transferred from the Ninth Division of the HNA to the Second Division, and was the first batch of modified Su-30MKKs when he was the commander of the HNA regiment, which can be described as an excellent candidate; The other is Chen Fei, who has been to HNA for more than a year and must know the situation very well.

In the case of choosing one of the two, Li Zhan did not hesitate to choose to find Chen Fei. If he looked for Qi Hong, if he put forward his own opinion, he was worried that Qi Hong's character would be annoyed and angry and drive him away. Of course, Qi Hong now wished that he would drive him away if he stayed, mainly because Li Zhan was worried that Qi Hong would have reservations.

He still has some personal opinions about Qi Hong.
